We should be thankful that the swine flu did not spread very rapidly. it is not very deadly like Ebola but swine flu can still kill you.

My brother got infected with H1N1 or Swine Flu in Mexico. He got a mild fever and luckily he did not die.

Sorry about the low quality of the pictures, especially the bus driver – I didn’t want to be too obvious in snapping away, and the bus one was taken whilst walking on the pavement, at a moving bus, between trees :)

As we’ve just had a baby daughter, I suspect I’m going to be a lot more cautious of going to crowded public places that I’d have been in the past, and ready to take a (verbal) swipe at the next person I see hacking and spitting in the street, or sneezing without covering their mouths.

I’m sure other (more mainstream than the ones I listed) online newspapers will write stories on this soon, but they were all I could find at the time.

I hope to finally publish some (semi) interesting photos from around Astana Day soon, whats the drill – hope someone from here notices, or drop you a line again to see if the photos are of interest?
